The Queen of Hearts by Wilkie Collins ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Queen of Hearts by Wilkie Collins audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In a lonely corner of South Wales, three aging brothers have settled into a quiet, rule-bound life at the bleak old Glen Tower - until a visit from their young ward, Jessie Yelverton, turns their household upside down. Spirited, curious, and impossible to ignore, Jessie soon earns (and embraces) her nickname: the Queen of Hearts. But her stay is set to be brief, and the brothers have a private reason to keep her under their roof a little longer: Griffith's son, George, is expected home soon, and his hopes for Jessie depend on time. Their solution is both simple and dangerous - they will hold Jessie night after night with stories. What begins as a domestic comedy of manners becomes a chain of gripping fireside narratives: tales of hidden motives, uncanny warnings, sudden violence, and everyday lives pushed into extraordinary corners. As each storyteller reveals another secret, the frame story tightens too, and Jessie must decide what to believe about the men around her, and what kind of future she will accept.
